Grade 7 Skiing/SnowboardingEnzo & Isabella

On January 7 the Grade 7 classes went skiing and snowboarding on Whistler Mountain. Most of them thought it was a great experience and would do it again any time. The class learned the basics and safety of skiing and snowboarding. After that it was time to have some fun. The kids tried out what they had learned and even tried out a few new things. They zoomed down the hill and rode the ski lift back up so they could do it again. After 6 exhausting hours of excitement the classes started to head home.
